As Jen and I are nearing the end of our renovations to our house, we are starting to make some moves on some positive cash-flow real estate investments. We recently put our lots up for sale. If we were to get what we are asking, we’d be about four hundred percent gain on both properties….
Many of you probably don’t know what at mudbug is, let alone that there are people that eat them by the scoop full or in some cases, scoops. What’s a mudbug you ask? It is a crawdad or freshwater crayfish. Those little backward walking, in defense, critters that look akin to a lobster but on…
I started remodeling a house in 1983. Jen started before that with her girls. It started off small with a wall here and a door to create a bedroom for JD, which grew into custom cabinets and a pool table in the new space that was a bonus room. Very little landscaping back then and…
The world has changed and I’m not sure I like everything about it. There are certainly material things that have made life better and simpler. Conveniences that we all wonder how we did without, but I often try to decide whether I’m better off or not. I remember we used to set up times to…
I started this writing thing because I got tired of the irritation experienced from bottling things up. Back, many years ago, I went through a divorce. During that process, I was asked to go to a counselor for some reason that is unclear to me, then and now. The marriage was over, if anyone knows…
Lately, much to my disappointment, everyone seems to be annoying me. That guy driving ten miles a hour under the speed limit, the fifteenth scam call of the day, asking my wife a question and her thinking my motive for asking be different then the real reason. It’s even been Lucy the Wonder Dog not…
Her we are again. Four years ago, we had just suffered the worst presidential reign of all time. So bad that now, “The Donald” has a new nickname, Donald “Hoover” Trump. Hoover, of course referring to the long considered worst president in history, Herbert Hoover. It is so perfect that nicknames are being thrown around…
Or as the Gullah spelling shown was D’fuskie. The island has been inhabited for thousands of years though most of that time was by numerous Indian tribes and mostly the Muscogee tribe which also provided the name meaning sharp feather describing the shape of the island. The Spanish date back to the 1500’s as having…
In all the travelling we have done, we never ventured to the deep south on a vacation. I’m not sure what we expected to see, taste, or experience, but it’s nothing like the imagination you build. Oh sure, we’ve flown in and out of Atlanta airport, but it hardly is representative of the south. I…
The title might be somewhat unclear. My son-in-law’s father was recently diagnosed with a stage four cancer. He is in his mid-eighties and lives a fairly healthy lifestyle. As a result of my daughter realizing a perspective that she doesn’t want to lose either of us, she has had this urgent message to Jen and…
